Binge TV Viewing Again

 This week, I concluded 'surge-viewing' of Stargate Universe (2009-2011)....forty episodes. 

Living overseas....there are a lot of shows which I just never saw before.  

So my ten observations:

1.  They tried awful hard to connect this show to Stargate itself (1990s show) and instead, it just appeared to be more Battlestar Galactica instead.

2.  You have to watch this show in precise alignment (1, 2, 3, etc).  It's one of those that you can't skip around.

3.  Must be forty-odd characters that have pieces and parts in the episodes, which makes it a bit odd.

4.  They never showed the WC or restrooms of the ship, and I just kept wondering about that part of the human element.

5.  Episode 1 and 2 are pretty 'lame'.

6.  Almost all of the aliens are not to be trusted.

7.  Based on food available on the ship....I would have lost 40 pounds in the first month alone, and been dead by week eight.

8.  I think if one of the big-boy networks would have taken it on.....maybe doing 15 episodes a year and given it a better chance of survival.

9.  The mad-scientist guy should have been left on some alien planet by episode five. 

10. It's funny that I missed viewing the show for almost 13 years.....then discover it by accident.  

Radical Nudists?

 As the newspapers laid out the Paul Pelosi attack (in his home)....several things came out.  Paul knew the guy on a first-name basis.  The dude was dressed in his underwear (we assume his, not Pauls) when the Police arrived.  And the guy was identified as a radical nudist agenda guy.

So I picked this up and asked the question....what the hell is a radical nudist?  Being from Alabama.....I'm kinda unfamiliar with this revolutionary nudists.

Originally, this group started up in the UK....around 100 years ago.  They had four significant agenda items.....vegetarianism, pro-nature/pro-environmentalism, free sex (meaning no real attachment), and improving your hygiene.  

There are various groups in Europe, and the US.  

One odd aspect of the group.....no matter how your body 'look' or style is.....it's damn fine by members of the group.

So the more I looked into the group....the more they look like normal everyday swingers.  

It begs the question....was a Paul just a friend, or a member of the group?

Observations

 1.  It does seem odd with this beating on Paul Pelosi (husband of Nancy)....that he was on a first name basis with the attack guy....who happened to be dressed in underwear (either his or Paul's underwear), and mostly known by the police as a 'nude activist'.

Course, I don't know much about nude activism, and rarely talk with sociable friends dressed just in their underwear.   In Alabama, we'd be suggesting drugs or booze being involved, and question the friendship.....particularly if the person wasn't someone of the opposite sex.

2.  News media says around 18-percent of Americans had to skip a meal, or deny themselves food.....because of the inflation rate.  Yet, oddly....no one is saying that they are starving or losing weight.  Something here doesn't make sense.

3.  Uvalde police now say they were fairly fearful of getting shot, when the school shooting took place.....even though they were armed and wearing 'flak-vests'.  

4.  Polling indicates for mid-term....that 40-percent of all Hispanic votes will go to the Republican candidates.  

5.  Newest conspiracy chatter in the US?  Poll watchers are not what they seem.  There may well be people who claimed Democratic status and signed up to be a poll watcher, but reality is that they are Republican in nature.  We may have to force folks to sign a 'blood-oath'.

6.  Tim Robbins said this week: "You can't over-regulate people's lives."

Well....he might be wrong on this.

7.  Presently, I'm counting four Senate races that should be won by Democrats....and it appears that it'll be a Republican win instead.  Just odd how 2022 has played out and four Democrats went sour in the final three months before the election.
